Germany is full of rules,70+ hour workweeks,a social/economic chaosand of course crabby old people, mentaly ill idiot adults, scared shitless confused young people without any solid roll models other than mtv/vivaand lets not forget bad weather 9 months a year.

The only way of the population not going insane(moreso) or be outcasted (asocial parasite) is to drink,be a sheep and follow the rules, football/F1 and tv shows and to thrive in self/professional pride/loath, false hope & dreams and zombieness (worker bee rutine).

Best life one can hope for here is a comfortablematerial lifestyle, imbecil aquaintances that will laugh at your dumb jokes or aprove of your new shoes/purse/car and being dead drunk 2 weeksa year in some shitty cheap island in the mediterranean.

The truth hurts but still all in all it's much better than most everywhere else.

americans and brits are the most arrogant by farthe americans never shut up about their military and the fact they 'win every war' and their 'freedom'. disliking them means you are somehow jealous brits smugly claim every achievement known to man as their own and denounce other cultures as inferior. disliking them makes you a 'johnny foreigner'they go on about germany starting and losing 2 world wars even though the first war was started by a serbian killing an austrian, and the second by the english and french. they brag about winning ww2 when the vast majority of the german forces were in russia. they have started far more wars than the germans yet pretend it is for other countries benefit. such as when the brits fought the germans for invading poland, before handing over half of europe along with poland to russia.the americans brag about their wonderful achievements, many of which were made by foreigners including germans (moon landings). many of the richest american families were german too.in the end it doesnt really matter, because americans and brits never help anyone. they hate the iranians, iraqis, chinese, germans, french, pakistanis, russians, and koreans. they will temporarily assist a faction, as long as it is useful to them.of course, there must be decent americans and brits. but they arent the ones im talking about.

How many Americans do you know, that HAVE traveled outside of the USA, that still spew this ignorance and cultural bias? None? Me either. America is the land of the red neck bigot....the dumb is so strong here that I'm almost ashamed to tell people that I'm a veteran.

It's funny how Anglo-Saxons laugh at Germans. If you're white and are proud of your english ancestry, maybe you should look up where did Angles and Saxons come from? Do you know there's a major area in Germany called Saxony?

I had both english and german at school. Both languages are very similar at the core. English is actually half german half latin.

Also German is the most reported ancestry in the US. There was even voting in your senate if german should be official US language. Thank God it's english - definitely prettier.

I used to deal with both English and Germans and they are very similar people. Vices - sense of superiority, slow thinking, blind obiedience to authority. Virtues - honesty, energy, drive to excellence. Unfortunately with new generations vices are growing and virtues are disappearing.

I've talked to many Poles who worked in Germany. Even the most anti-german ones said they liked getting paid on time. The most common accusation was that Germans are very square - they have to do everything to the letter. I rather like it but most Poles think that's annoying - too rigid.

In conclusion: don't let them sing, let them make cars and other good stuff, and everyone should be happy.

I've traveled outside of the USA, and I find your posting to be quite typical of the prejudicial bias that many Europeans have toward us.

Don't fall into the trap of "oh, all Americans are so stupid, I'm ashamed to be one." In doing so, you only act as an example for your theory, a dumb American.

No matter how superior the Krauts think they are (interestingly the only German contributor to this thread thinks he is), it didn't stop them from getting slapped and sent home by the Brits and Americans, twice.

and the Russians, and the Chinese, and the Canadians, and the Australians, and the New Zealanders, and the whole entire rest of the world.

And it took four years to do it (six if you include from the very start).

germans are great inventors and scientist. just because the english language is more simple build up does not mean, that there is no such word in the english vocabulary.the german language ist much more complex due to more varied grammar. if you are going to learn the german language you will find out.there are many words, that have only one meaning in english, but different meanings in german.some examples:english: "words"german: "wörter" or "worte" -- dependent on if the word is spoken out or written down.i spoke to many people whose native language is english, and there was not even one who said, that the english language is more hard to learn than the german one. for germans it's generally more easy to learn english, than the other way round.violent? not really.some exceptions always exist, but it's stupid do generalize it.

Not just these few threads today, but German's are always blowing their own horn.

Schadenfreude??? Schadenfreude is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.

Not too many languages have a word for this.

This smilie is a PsyOp. The Germans are out to get us all, because they know what is best.

Look who's calling the kettle black.

Having lived for 3 yrs in Germany, married to a german army vet, I have to disagree. They were so nice to this ridiculous American girl, which I cannot say has been the case for my hubby living in the USA. They always made me feel welcome, encouraged me when I attempted to speak German, even though I was terrible at it. Never made fun of me or harrassed me. I even have German friends here in the USA. For those who aren't used to Germans, let me explain. They may come across as being arrogant, bc they have a tendency to be strong-willed and confident. They don't beat about the bush, but come straight to the point and say what they mean, which is something I admire them for. They have one of the strongest economies in the world, and their confidence is well-deserved, as they are skilled, intelligent and highly efficient. Don't be so quick to bash the Germans, for most of them are very good, respectable people. Having witnessed my sisters and cousin as well as female friends get jerked around by American men and treated like dirt, I have to say, I'm glad I went with a German, bc he's honourable, honest, faithful, hardworking, and a genuinely good man. The same applies to his family, and nearly every German I have met.

I totally agree. I really regret moving back to the USA. I wish I still lived in Germany. I absolutely loved it over there, and Germans are really great people! I have so much respect for you guys, and wish America could learn from Germany's example. Also, at least Germans are respectful to legal foriegners, unlike Americans. My husband is German, lives in the US with me, has always earned the main income, pays his taxes to the USA, is responsible and hard working, but fair and always helps out the other employees, even when they are lazy and don't deserve it, yet, American men (mostly) treat him like shit, call him Fritz, make fun of his accent, which is almost non-existent (he speaks better english than most americans), etc, etc. I am disgusted by the way americans treat people like him. It wasn't anything like that for me in Germany. No one made fun of me for how I spoke, or for my terrible, incomprehensible German. Ich spreche sheiss Deutsch! Haha!This thread is really fucking offensive, and needlessly so.

It just got finished right ahead of WW I, it´s contents were hidden during WW II, stolen by the russians and returned later after the collapse surprisingly fast (as a lot of other stuff is still missing or not returned).
